Meaning & origin
Sherine first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1948 and reached its highest usage in 1972, during a peak year for feminine names ending in -ine. The name has maintained a stable trajectory since the 1970s without significant resurgence. Although it has never ranked among the top 1000 names nationally, its steady presence across decades reflects its modest but enduring appeal.
Sherine likely emerged as a modern coinage, influenced by the Persian name Shirin (meaning 'sweet') and English names like Sherry and Sherri. It saw its peak use in the early 1970s in the United States, fitting the era's fondness for feminine names with the -ine suffix. The name has maintained a low but stable presence since the 1940s.
